the road goes ever on and on

ok, so things are going ok, except i seem to be sleeping a lot.  not sure why.  however, i like the company my former employer put me in touch with, Lee Hecht Harris - even though they are not local, they've been very responsive and supportive.  They have all kinds of resources for the unemployed, and a large database of jobs mined by both employers and job-seekers.  anyway, i'm totally pimping them for anyone who is in a similar unemployed, underemployed, or looking for a new place position.   

my parents, parents' friends, and my own friends continue to be helpful in keeping an eye out for likely prospects/people/ads - thank you!

in other news, i'm doing 'research' for my Xander in Four Corners fic by watching a lot of Buffy. :-D  but i need to get a DVD cleaning DVD, cause the player's acting up a bit.  however, it does mean i'm being inspired to write more on the story.  it stalled for a bit, but thanks to Sidial, i've got past that.  my writing stalled not because i couldn't see the scenes play out in my head, but because the flow of words randomly dried up.  stress? possibly.  i tend to doubt depression as a cause because last time i was depressed, i was very productive.  or maybe it's different every time, i don't know.  but it's working again, so i'm good.

i'm also paying attention to my garden again, although right now it's mostly to rip the darn thing out because 3 weeks of ignoring it in drought conditions have done a serious number on it. i even managed to kill the mint.  the plants i have left are the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes in front, the lavendar, peat moss, bird of paradise (?), in back.  everything else gets ripped up and dumped in back where... 'volunteers' from previous gardens are doing just fine. :-p

that's the state of the boogie today.

Well it sounds like things are moving along, and you are doing OK. Hell, I'm glad you're sleeping, when I was between jobs my sleep was for crap.

huh. i hope you're sleeping better, although as a law officer, i hear sleepless nights are common what with all the crap you end up seeing/ hearing/ putting up with.

but yeah, i feel ok, and got another push today, so it's all systems go. it's hard to maintain momentum, but i am trying.

*hugs*

Oh, most nights I sleep like a baby. The last guy I locked up stunk really badly, that made me lose my appetite a bit, but not my sleep. :)

Just don't stop, you're doing well!
